Takeoffs & estimating
Siding and cladding takeoffs
We measure the siding on every elevation, net of openings, and list the boards, panels, trims, soffit, fascia and flashings you need to price and order. Installers and suppliers get the numbers without spending the evening at the plans.

- Brick and stone veneer
- Stucco, EIFS and metal cladding
Measured to the manufacturer
Coverage depends on exposure, panel size and fastening, so we measure to the product you name and show the waste factor separately. Trims, starter strips and flashings are counted from the elevations, so the order is complete the first time.
Questions we are asked
Can you split quantities by colour?
Yes. Mixed-cladding homes are common, so we list each system and colour separately.
